Tested: Polygon XQUARONE EX9

[@Sefveron]

People are complaining about the price... but its top spec kit, this model has xx1 eagle, carbon wheels, fox 36 fork and x2 custom rear shock, guide ultimate brakes... its TOP PRICE GEAR! Its the most expensive best of the best components, if you add up price of all the parts they almost add up to the price of the full bike and thats with an amazingly well engineered frame, not to mention they have a lower spec version with x01 eagle, alloy wheels, rsc brakes and the same suspension for almost $2000 less... , and considering how good it functions i think its price if more than fair, especially when you compare it to the price of santa cruz and yeti bikes... the only reason people have to hate on this bike is that its brand is "Polygon" and that it looks ugly... i personally will take function over form any day of the week than buy a fancy branded bike like santacruz , yeti or any other boutique brand.

[@arywibisono7711]

Sefveron well... sometimes or most of the time people see the brand first but do not look at specs... It's very sad if they bought brand not quality. Most of the bike n famous bike equipment made in taiwan or china and this bike made in asia as well...specific made in indonesia which the country has produce aeroplane as well... So never doubt for quality.

[@mohdhelme6180]

Sefveron totally agreed

[@Pram4]

here in asean polygon is a good brand with good quality but i can see your point of view from there, maybe they need to sponsor a lot of event for introducing this product 🤔

[@bramantyo2505]

Agreed. 👍

[@tristan3586]

I got ex9 for 108$

[@roostville3909]

I really love this bike in how it's about to force all the manufacturers to get innovative again. Not in wheel size, or hub width or any of that, but in genuine creative suspension designs. The square one is proof that there are better design solutions still out there that haven't been discovered. I can't wait to give this bike a go and see what all the fuss is about!

[@santclause1]

Same as marin wolf ridge isn't it?

[@roostville3909]

Yeah I think so. I'm pretty sure they both are using the same suspension design

[@Sefveron]

Marin wolf ridge is 29er, polygon is 650b, also both bikes mount the shock different, also polygon is 180mm and wolf ridge is 160mm they are actually different bikes but no one seems to notice these differences.

[@roostville3909]

+Sefveron cheers for the info. I never noticed those differences before. Now I'm curious to see a back to back test between the Square One and the Wolf Ridge

[@Cakeborb]

There are tradeoffs for everything; if you like really playful suspension that lets you pump and jump off roots and things like that, this bike won't be for you. I've read a few reviews that it just eats everything up, that aiming for small bumps/jumps doesn't phase it and also doesn't give you the pop and air that they would on other bikes. I wouldn't get it because I care about more than just plowing through trails.

[@v1rus9]

Really awesome Video... The climbing footage is insane...

[@KurtisPape]

I just bought this bike in the EX8 model, still an amazing spec. Im selling my 2016 cannondale Jeykll 1 with full XX1 and my Polygon collosus n6 just to get this bike. This is how much this review convinced me, it better be good :)

[@PotatoesRnice]

How did things turn out?

[@stevebrown7133]

I think it looks sick

[@JWVisuals]

Steve Brown same

[@SGMTB]

This suspension design + gearbox + linkage fork... Is that the future?

[@brianrichards782]

i have so many sketches of a suspension design where the chainstay pivot is far into the down tube but have never figured out how to keep breaking forces isolated and the antisquat is still bearable. i need to have a look at this

[@thiosemicarbizidebenzoylal2921]

Game changer for the entire mountain bike industry.

[@Cakeborb]

Thiosemicarbizide Benzoyl Alcohol maybe. But just like some people are going to love how this thing can plow over everything, there are still going to be lots of people who like bikes like Orange makes, which pop off of everything and make even tame trails tons of fun

[@sarahrobson8266]

Love Flow Mountain Bike reviews and videos, would love them even more if you told us where you were testing the bikes, the trails always look superb. Keep flowing.

[@AaronMarkie]

Its in the article, check their site

[@spacetaco1]

Like to see a comparison video between this and the Pivot Firebird. They seem to fit in the same category. Plus I love mine.

[@IsraelMagalit]

Would love to see a comparison with the Marin Wolf Ridge

[@Raumance]

Now I'm really interested in the linkage design. And I mean like hard numbers and data graphs, not this "Climbs like a beast bro" shit. Every review pretty much says the same things. I could see that the linkage wasn't squatting but all the reviews always say the same stuff.

[@yannispop6575]

I have a polygon square one ex9 and find that I can never bottom out the rear shock. It seems to stop exactly where the written words KASHIMA COAT are on the fox float x2. I took the shock off the bike and released all the air and compressed it with all my might. It seems to have a bump stop about 1.5cm from the top of it's travel. This confused me. Why have more stanchion length if it doesn't use it. I'm still looking for answers, contacting polygon and fox to see if this is normal or not. I'd just like to ask if you've experienced the same thing. Judging by your video it so to seems that the polygon in the video stops before the end of the travel. This also raises the question of how do i set the sag? By the full stroke length or by where the shock bottoms out? Please let me know if you have any answers. Thanks

[@vladimirkozin1447]

I going to buy a polygon exquarone ex9 in 2019 year

[@luise5419]

Did u buy it?

[@caturhermawan2190]

How much is the price?

[@abdulkhafidtirtojoyo]

Nice video bro...👍 Greeting from East Java Indonesia.

[@yosefw6938]

Well, reminds me to the Lapierre Spicy before they get rid of that top tube. The suspension (and the kinematics of it) pretty much reminds me to Whyte-Marin design (before they get rid of their suspension design), and Yeti's more recent SB6 series. And yeah, it has the same suspension designer as Marin. Not that it'd be the same tbh, as Polygon has tuned the Float X2 to fit better into their suspension, while Marin sticks with OEM without any bespoke specification. And that kinda pays off tbh, with the Polygon in general having a far better ride quality than Marin, despite it being heavier and being a somehow purebred Superenduro rig, what with its 180mm of travel.

[@motomochannel]

is this indonesian manufactured?

[@bluearl4455]

Yep

[@faldikn]

No its not, its Indonesian Brand and manufactured in Sidoarjo, Indonesia. U can read the company history at Wikipedia/their official site or just type Polygon then u can see summary from google its founded by Soejanto Widjaja at 1989 in Sidoarjo, Indonesia

[@stonecold4654]

Polygon from indonesia. Is true

[@jodhikusuma3857]

Rifaldi Kusnawan dia nanya apakah dirakit di Indonesia ?? Jawabannya yess it is,, koq bisa not it’s not??

[@jodhikusuma3857]

Yess sir

[@KurtisPape]

Man how did you get this bike, I ordered in December and its been delayed to March to even start producing it...

[@brettmezen900]

Kurtis I ordered in December and got mine in December.

[@spiderjet]

which is the better Polygon XQUARONE or Polygon Siskiu T8 Dual Suspension

[@anggersutrisno84]

Xquarone of course.

[@dook5412]

was this filmed at Narrabeen

[@n.prince2458]

FMB, I would like to see this bike tested with the Trust linkage fork.

[@skibikeride2000]

I wonder if the suspension praise that gearbox bikes get would translate over to this one if a gearbox version were created

[@TheGuyWho3415]

Looks to me that there isn't much seat tube. Pretty limiting for dropper length.

[@nickkbudiono]

Me and my Siskiu D5: *Cries in broke*

What's the difference between the EX8 and the EX9? Is it worth the extra $2k?

[@עמיתיפרח-ה5ס]

some1 know what the name of the song in the background?

[@ADVtheMISSIONARY]

if it had a straight top tube it would "look" a lot like the old Commencal Meta 55 from way back when(suspension is completely different and the Geo as well)......the looks and the price :(

Anyone think that looks exactly like the Marin wolf ridge there must be a connection between Marin and polygon

[@mohammadfarizka]

Ian Boyd i think there is conection, in Indonesia exclusive polygon store also sell Marin bike, but not other brand.

[@lachiep1134]

That's at stIves flux capacitor

[@marcusdluxe]

Isn't that very much like a Marin wolf ridge?

[@עמיתיפרח-ה5ס]

as far as i know they both bought from another company the right to use this frame..

[@AldenRover]

My Guitar Stuff Wolf Ridge is a 29er, and Square One used 650b And if I'm not mistaken, Polygon has a license to produce Marin, so they it's kinda similar

[@Rob-fy9iw]

Both Polygon and Marin have licenced the Naild R3act suspension system, which results in a very similar looking rear end setup and bike generally. They are different in how they have then executed the bike ie Polygon has gone for a 180 mm 650B; Marin for a 160 mm 29er. Would be interesting to see then ridden against each other!

[@KiwiInGermanyMTB]

Would love to ride it but would never buy it.

This is just a kinematic with a good anti squat. DW has already done this since years. And the use of a sliding element, providing friction when there is chain pull, has already been made by Yeti. Nothing new really, just another version of already existing technology.

Was going to say that as well, glad to see brands going out of the box. No matter who copied who !

The group that designed the suspension sold it to both companies.

[@dashapeleutheros]

Do you know that Marin is produced in Polygon factory in Indonesia? So who copy who. Still question mark for me...

[@SGMTB]

Nobody copied anyone. A 3rd party company had made a suspension design. That company sold the design to Marin AND Polygon.
